Dr. Oz should be his new primary

Ahhh yes the classic apathy=acceptance ploy. "I don't care that you're black/gay/disabled/oppressed, so stop talking about it please." I agree that people shouldn't care whom other people choose to love and/or have sex with, but "color blindness" has never been a good tactic for healing racial tensions and ignoring…

It's pretentious as fuck, but it's also a pretty effective way of portraying the way that character looks at life from a detached, objective perspective and feels that it is mostly made up of repetition and silent horror. Kind of a deceptively good bad line, IMO. Makes you wonder where that second season came from…

Wait is Samantha Bee not angry? What is that emotion that makes her lean forward towards the camera like she's about to rip it off its stand and throw it at the audience, then?

I'm honestly glad he didn't stay…it was kind of obvious when he hosted the Daily Show that one summer and it became more or less his own thing immediately that he needed his own vehicle to grow. The Daily Show's constraints would have probably been too much for the kind of content he likes to do (lots of long form,…

Yeah but his jokes were *funny*. And when he laughed at them you tended to laugh with him…Noah doesn't laugh at his own jokes so much as chuckle smugly.

You take that Blink-182 hate back right now, sir. Those dudes were masters of bratty, infectious melodies before their first break up. Everything from there back was excellent and I'll be damned if it isn't still making my morning commutes better as an adult going to work, instead of a kid on the school bus.

btw I say all this as someone who has been incarcerated and witnessed plenty of overt and covert abuse by the correctional facility…the people who work in these places are not puppies by any fucking stretch. They often derive amusement from refusing prisoners medical care, watching fights that break out, and beating…

But is painting the white guy who does something wrong as "actually a decent dude" *really* the complex route? Or is that kind of exactly what we've come to expect from shows that try to tackle these topics? How often do we see Facebook posts about white male cops helping old ladies cross the street in the midst of…

Subjective. I wouldn't say he's anymore smug an act than Stewart, and he certainly likes to pick on himself (seemingly genuinely for his looks, nationality, etc.) plenty. He's done some really insightful segments over the last 3 years and pulled a lot of genius stunts reminiscent of bite-sized versions of The Colbert…

Yeah I know what you mean. She just doesn't seem entirely comfortable holding her own show, either, and at times she comes off as a little *too* simply leftist of a scold…I've never been big on bipartisanship for the sake of itself, but it's always been nice to see Oliver go after institutions that aren't really Right…

He's got the same material (and writers) as Stewart, but *he* is rather bland. It never really feels like he's actually incensed by any of what he's talking about, and his impressions and expressions have nothing on Stewart's old shtick.

I don't hate Trevor like some old Stewart fans do, but the show has definitely lost its teeth with him hosting. It's like the same material and the same machine digesting it but instead of swift, sharp bites you're watching a much softer man gum on stuff he's unable to completely process. Last Week Tonight (and…

What about John Oliver? Samantha Bee's show has its moments but it's a little obtuse at times. Oliver's show has really come into its own for cultural criticism on par with and at times exceeding Stewart's peak on the Daily Show. Some of the stunts he's pulled (the debt forgiveness, for example) have been inspired.

No Ballad of Big Nothing? King's Crossing? Speed Trials? Too much Figure 8. Not the list I would have made.

Oh you're fun

Technically way too many people have figured out how to vape cocaine.

The funny thing is, TFA almost seemed like it was kicking off that very trilogy. Except the writers didn't seem to know which side should have logically been bigger/more organized, or why, or how to convey any of it. Depending on what they needed in the moment for the sake of the plot, it always either seemed like the…

Watching this on acid for no particular reason right now…horrific.
